How would Pernell Whitaker do against fighters on Floyd's resume?

[4Corners]

People seem to forget how Floyd fought in his prime, you do know Floyd threw combinations a lot more often in his prime.

[FeFist]

He'd go through the list undefeated with low to mid difficulty.

Whitaker is smaller than Floyd and Whitaker probably had less pop in his punches than Floyd. Having said that, it's clear that Whitaker is the better defensive fighter because he wouldn't just potshot like Floyd, but actually let loose combinations.

I wouldn't call Floyd the greatest defensive fighter of ALL TIME. For this era maybe, but not ALL TIME.

Floyd's skill is assessing risk, and minimizing risk. Floyd is one of the greatest risk averse boxers of all time. Floyd has learned Bruce Lee's "art of fighting without fighting". Floyd's boxing I.Q. is on the level of Sun Tzu's in warfare, but Floyd can't do what Whitaker did, be defensive and fire combinations. Floyd can only be defensive and potshot.

wrong. Pea is not smaller than Floyd at all. He's just shorter. People really just love to hate. Pea is bigger than Floyd. He also is Southpaw which makes everything easier to do. Everyone pretty much struggles with Southpaws.

The truth is both guys would do well with the other's resume because they both are 2 of the best to ever do it

Floyd stopped throwing combinations ever since he moved up to 147 lbs

nah, Cherrypicker is a pretty big and strong guy. In the promotional stare downs, Cherrypicker don't look like he has any size disadvantage against the Ginger. I bet Cherrypicker might even start pushing the Ginger around like he did Mosley.

He also is Southpaw which makes everything easier to do. Everyone pretty much struggles with Southpaws.

I don't think being southpaw makes things easier to do, it just makes things different. regardless I agree with your point that most people struggle against southpaws. But Pea would be great with or without being southpaw.

Cherrypicker always wins fantasy fights, but I wonder if Cherrypicker would fight everyone on Pea's resume in their primes.

well he already beat the best name on Floyds resume, Oscar dela hoya, when he was clearly past it. He would go past everyone on that list with relative ease.

Wrong, Floyd landed 60% of his power shots against Ghost, and I been watching it lately. He was looking to land solid rights at ALL times of the fight.

yeah, cherrypicker potshotted Ghost... he barely threw any combinations.

[EMACULATE]

Floyd is the best fighter ever period, he makes sweet pea look like a damm a drunken ******.
No one even comes even close to floyd`s greatness, he is God and other boxers are just humans.
He is soo elusiv and fast that I think he would go all 12 rounds with any fighter ever regardless of weightclass, yes Prim Ali, prime Tyson, floyd is just to damm good to not survive.

Floyd is the singel most underrated fighter in history

You must be FAIRLY NEW TO THE SPORT OF BOXING. Pernell Whitaker is the single most under-rated fighter in history. He was robbed versus Chavez and Oscar. I think even past his prime Whitaker put TITO on his anus. So elusive that he was somewhat trapped in he corner and Tito couldnt lay a glove on him. Although he got his jaw broken he was still competitive. This is a top five fighter of all time. Top two or three to be truthful. He did everything floyd did without all the talking. He was so good that winning every round became boring to the public and they criticized his style. He completely dominated boxing while being the P4P king.
